BRANDON, Miss. —

Part of a building partially collapsed in downtown Brandon late Saturday night, according to the Brandon Fire Department.

It happened at the Priority One Bank on Government Street in downtown Brandon.

Brandon fire units said a portion of the brick veneer of the building separated from a side wall of the building.

The area was blocked off while crews cleaned up any loose debris.

"We're in the process of contacting our insurance company and structural engineers to let them look at that, (and) let them check it out. There are no other issues with the building we feel like everything is fine. We just want our customers to feel safe," bank President Marcus Robinson said.

No injuries were reported and officials said they will be keeping a close eye on the wall over the next few days.

The bank does plan on being open Monday, but the drive through windows maybe closed, Robinson said.
